I give to Cal because of Kylie, who plays a vital role in ensuring CalSol is able to hit the tracks this summer. Without Kylie, CalSol would be stuck in rfs daydreaming of sunlight. Thank you Kylie!

We have 10 days left until the end of our crowdfunding. Until now, we reached 35% of our goal thanks to 36 donors. Yet, we have a long way to go until we reach our goal!
With the funds, we will finish Excalibur, our 10th Generation Vehicle, and prepare for the 11th Generation Vehicle Manufacture Cycle. The donations made are *tax-deductible*, and you can get perks like wallpapers, stickers, or a special video.
With your contribution, we can provide more opportunities for members to tackle hands-on design and manufacturing work and finish Excalibur to continue our legacy of success.
Share with your friends and peers to help CalSol pave the way for renewable energy in the transportation sector!
As always, thank you for your continued support!
